Raytheon Co. has been awarded a $36 million contract to supply the U.S. Army with 746 multi-band, multi-mission radios, the company announced Oct. 19.

The AN/PSC-5D radio is used as a satellite communications system that provides warfighters with enhanced voice-and-data capabilities for beyond-line-of-site communications. The units can be fixed on a vehicle or carried in a pack, and the contract includes 432 vehicular satellite communications-on-the-move kits to adapt the radios from manpack to vehicular configurations.
